Superstition in Prussia.

AS a proof that the superstitious folk are nat
an dead yet, the following queer story comes
to US from Prussia:
As the Baron de Gostowski. lord of tpe
manor OF Sabonez, not far from Dantzic law
dying recently, he spoke thus to his weeping
family:
eMy children, / am about to leave you
@hen | am dead, and before buryinr me. be
careful to sever my head from my BODY. I
did SO to my mother. We are a race of van.
pires, and unless this terrible p-recaution ia
taken we cannot rest in the grave, but return
and bring misfortune to our chi1dren.n
These extraordinary instructions were car
ried out to the letter by the eldest son after
his fathers d-eeeesc.: But not satisfied with
that, as he felt "a little off" in point of health
a few days after the funeral, what does this
too obedient son do but repair to- the ceme-
terry and, first getting the grayedigger pretty
thoroughly intoxicated, induces him to ex-
hume his fathers body. After having turned
over the headless trunk SO that it rested on
Its stomach, and determined to make thorouoh
work of it, he took the severed member from,
the coffin and threw it into a neighboripg
hedge.
Even in bigoted Prussia such proceedings
cannot be passed ~unnoticed. The correctional
tribunal" has just a~djudged this flial son
guilty Of ayiolation Of interinent," and sem
fenced him to-a fortnights imprisonment
Many witnesses testified that the crime was
the result purely Of the terrible superstition
Ettl rampant In Lithuanian territory.-New
York Graphic.

enterprise, and the architect was directed to
create the most sumptuous house in the coun-
try. The seating capacity was over 1900,
but, like the Metropolitan Opera house OF
later date, many of the seats were useless and
were soon taken out. Oct. 2, 1854, was the

believed he was an honest man.
Since election Mr.. George has
gone backward. He has even
gone back on his original scheme
Of securing the land for the people.
Now he says he doesn't mean to
disturb individual ownership in
any such way as the workingmen
who voted for him were promised
before election day. An honest
man restricts his pet personal
ideas when the general welfare de-
mands it, and does not determine
to be at the head at any cost.

mere fact that he is man who has
changed his occupation does not

something that he doesn't under

George as the man who had made

party.
The Socialists gave three cheers
for the Cause of United Labor, and
then resolved to give Henry
George, DR.. McGlynn and John
McMackin another invitation to
face the music in debate on
Socialism VS.. Land Tax Theories. "
The United Labor Party in the
Fourteenth district split upon the
Socialistic rocks last night. The
resolution that was passed at the
meeting of Eighth district on Fri
day night condemning the action
of the county general committee
was introduced at this meeting,
and the Socialists insisted that the
resolution be put to a vote. The
chairman, Michal Murray, ruled it
out.
The chairman then announced
an election for new delegates to
the Syracuse convention. George
G. Block, Socialist, one of the del
egates chosen at the meeting S
week ago, said that delegates had
already been chosen. He believed
he had the honor to be one of
them.
The chair asked Mr.. Block if he
was Socialist. Mr.. Block re-
piled that he was. So did Francis
Schaider, the other delegate.
Mr.. Murray repeated that they
would go into a new election.
This was signal for the Social
lists to put on their hats, and as
they were going away they wished
the minority a good evening.
Then Chairman Murray said that
there really was no hurry about
the election of delegates, and it
was deferred until Thursday night.
The Socialists, headed by Geo.
G. Block, who was secretary of
the Henry George campaign COM
went around to 2S4 East
Tenth street and organized. Fran
els Schaider was chairman and
Francis H. K9nig secretary.
Block paid his respects to Henry
George, John McMackin and the
United Labor Party in the good
old Socialistic style. He said that
it was very clear that George was
afraid the Socialists would expose
him and his single tax reform.
Gronlund had exposed him in his
pamphlet. He would come around
after the convention, finding how
weak the United Labor Party was,
and court the Socialists; but they
would have none of him.
Il see the time coming said
MIR. Block, when George will form
a combine with the democratic
party
Mr.. Wasserman said he, too,
saw that time coming. In point
of fact he said there were many
now in the United Labor Party
VINO were IN with the boodlerS. y
This meeting decided to call a
mass meeting. They endorsed the
present course of the Leadfy,
which they said was their paper,
and they passed vote asking the
manager of the Lcadty to take no
notice whatever of the faction
which had split off from them in
the Fourteenth district They
will meet again on Friday night,
and probably choose another dele

and makes it clear that plotting to remove him
from his Office was going on for long time.
The charges were investigated by another
consul, Democrat, with the result that the
State Department declared that Coionei
Mathews had been completely vindIcated.
No ground for reno wing him was thus ODtalned'
